| Subject: [ANN] PyYAML-3.13: YAML parser and emitter for Python |
| |
| ======================== |
| Announcing PyYAML-3.13 |
| ======================== |
| |
| A new bug fix release of PyYAML is now available: |
| |
| http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PyYAML |
| |
| *** Important Note From Maintainers *** |
| |
| This is the first PyYAML release by the new maintainers. It was made critical |
| because PyYAML-3.12 did not work with the recent Python 3.7 release. |
| |
| A more ambitious 4.1 release was attempted last week and needed to be retracted |
| for many reasons. We apologize any pain caused by the 4.1 removal, but we |
| remain confident that it was the best decision. |
| |
| There are over 60 pull requests in PyYAML and LibYAML that will be represented |
| in the upcoming 4.2 release and we are working hard to get those to you as soon |
| as the release is ready (but no sooner :). |
| |
| We are are excited that the PyYAML project is moving forward again. |

| Changes |
| ======= |

| About PyYAML |
| ============ |
| |
| YAML is a data serialization format designed for human readability and |
| interaction with scripting languages. PyYAML is a YAML parser and emitter for |
| Python. |
| |
| PyYAML features a complete YAML 1.1 parser, Unicode support, pickle support, |
| capable extension API, and sensible error messages. PyYAML supports standard |
| YAML tags and provides Python-specific tags that allow to represent an |
| arbitrary Python object. |
| |
| PyYAML is applicable for a broad range of tasks from complex configuration |
| files to object serialization and persistance. |
| |
| |
| Example |
| ======= |

| >>> yaml.load(""" |

| ... description: YAML parser and emitter for Python |
| ... homepage: http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PyYAML |
| ... keywords: [YAML, serialization, configuration, persistance, pickle] |
